Ok, for me:
FPS: TF2 – Enough Said, Wolfenstein Enemy Territory – The first FPS I really got into with Fumbles, needless to say our gaming relationship has gone from there! L4D – Loads of zombie fun (especially when I get to be the zombie!).

RTS: The Warcraft series is hard to go past, especially 2 and 3, they’ve probably been the ones that have held my attention most.

RPG – Well the game that I have spent the most hrs on ever comes into this category, World of Warcraft, a game that will go down in history as one of the greatest with 11mill subscribers!
Simulation: EA Sports does many good sports sims, such as Soccer, Ice Hockey, Basketball and more. I have always enjoyed playing these.

Fighting: I enjoyed the Mortal Kombat series, and was also good at Teken too, not everyone’s cup of tea, but it kept me entertained =)

FPS:
1. TF2 – 170+ hours as a heavy and i still love it, provided i get a good medic occasionally (and boy are they hard to come by)
2. L4D – Simply stunning gameplay – I think that because i was so against playing this game, it ended up surpassing all expectations.
3. DOOM/QUAKE – I can’t differentiate between the two. Doom is here simply because it blew my mind and was the fist game to really scare me and get the adrenaline pumping. Quake is up there because it progressed the genre so well and was great to play.

RTS:
1. Warcraft 2 – By far the BEST RTS ever created. Simple, but that also made it very playable over hours and hours. I remember being in a stalemate situation for 7 hours, neither of us left to eat, drink or go to the bathroom… He didn’t see my massive naval fleet coming though and to date, thats is my single greatest RTS victory.
2. Age of Empires 2 – Again, simple and very strategic

Action Adventure:
1. Return to ZORK – As a 15 year old with a 486 DX2, return to zork was just so different to games i had played before this (commodore 64 – mega drive), good story line and interesting puzzles. Spent $50.00 on calling their help\cheat line without realising it and got in huge touble. so worth it.
2. Alex Kidd – Sega Mega-Drive (i think) simple 2d platform style adventure game. But after playing a C64, this game was a breath of fresh air, and i took forever to complete (might try and dowload an emulator)

RPG’s
1. WOW – Definative in its dominance of the Genre… Time permitting it is a great game. Though the quests feel all the same and grinding becomes tedious. Still makes my list though.

Simulation
1.0 Microsofts original Flight Simulator – Again played on a 486 DX2 – spent way too much time trying to land on the carrier’s with a little single engine cessna.

Casual Gaming:
NO SUCH THING – Its hardcore gaming all the way… whoooh GO CLAN SNAP

Nice list, uber nerd cred

For me…
FPS: TF2, L4D, UT2k4.
RPG: Diablo 2, NetHack, Exile 2.
RTS: Starcraft, DoW, WC2.
Puzz/Ad: Portal, The Lost Vikings 2, Trine.
Racing: MC3, Burnout Revenge, Speed Freaks.
Casual: Not really, too many other great games.
Simulation: No, for me gaming is about going beyond “the real”, not simulating it
